Stop by the Grand Canal for a picnic lunch before heading inside the Palace of Versailles.

Next, bypass the queue and head straight inside the Palace of Versailles, where you'll have time to explore independently and use your audio-guide to discover the King's apartments and famous Hall of Mirrors.
